What size speaker wire can I Use? Can I use 12 awf ? null

From what I looked up 12 awf is .080 diameter and the connector on the back is about .086 so it should fit. I am running Monster cable wires and the gold connectors are .070 and definitely fit just fine.

I am using 12 awg wire. It’s a little tricky to push into the spring clips but aren’t they all. It works fine and sounds amazing

Hi Ida, Good question! Speaker wires that are anywhere between 12 to 16 gauge are most commonly used for connecting speakers to an amplifier or an Audio/Video (A/V) receiver. A lower-gauge number indicates a thicker wire, while a higher-gauge number indicates a thinner wire. Speaker wires with lower-gauge numbers are better at carrying an amplified audio signal. When determining which wire gauge to use, consider how far away the speakers are from your amplifier or A/V receiver. Generally, for short speaker wire runs, a 16-gauge wire is sufficient. However, for longer speaker wire runs (to another room, for example), it is better to use a thicker, lower-gauge wire. Also, we recommend you strip the jacket to 10 mm (13/32 in) at each end of the speaker cables, and then tightly twist the speaker wire strands and insert the stripped ends of the cables into the terminals. Hope this helps! Whether you choose to enjoy the warm sound of vinyl via the phono input, or stream music from your digital music collection, you’ve found a perfect match. Don’t forget the receiver’s A=B function lets you connect two pairs of speakers. You can easily switch between A or B or use them all together at the same time. When you factor in the low-profile design, we’re sure you’ve found the flexibility and performance you’ve been looking for! Regards, Sam
